Fish alternatives

Authentic, delicious and nutritious!

Better taste, texture, health and color: enjoy it all!

How can you manufacture succulent plant-based fish alternatives products that deliver on texture, nutrition, sustainability - and above all, fantastic taste? Our experts will work with you to find a solution, using ingredients that deliver the authentic, clean seafood experience that health-conscious consumers love. Enjoy it all. 

Our Meat & Fish Alternatives experts are always ready to help you

It all starts with taste. Using ingredients like our unique Maxavor® Fish YE, you can bring a variety of rich, authentic fish flavors to your plant-based products in a natural way. Our textured canola, pea and faba bean proteins are the perfect choice for creating free-from products that deliver the right bite - and don't compromise on food affordability, taste, texture, or appearance. Then, you can complement this with authentic fish juiciness and mouthfeel using our hydrocolloids like GELLANEER® gellan gum.

Of course, plant-based foods also need to be healthy and nutritious – which is why we also offer solutions that fortify your plant-based fish alternatives with everything from omega-3 fatty acids to ready-to-go blends of vitamins and minerals. You can even benefit from natural coloration solutions that make your product look good while further boosting its nutritional profile.
